Many of the cases handled by Sharpe Tillman & Melton that have been resolved upon appeal resulted in “published opinions.” These opinions, some by the Texas Supreme Court, set “precedent” for future lawsuits. They are “authoritative” and are at the ready to guide court decisions in similar, fact-specific cases. Few small firms have had the privilege of participating in defining law as we at Sharpe Tillman & Melton have.
